Testimonials
“All That Glitters by Halo Quin is a heady mix of poetry and prose, folklore and personal insight. This is a book of re-enchantment. Halo is steeped in folklore and has a powerful personal relationship with the wild and the natural world. At the same time there’s a sweetness to her work, and warmth in it. “
“it literally sent shivers down my spine – it was as if you had seen inside me and were uncovering a hidden purpose or course. I was a bit blown away... I need to write it out and have it as my motto on the wall to continually remind myself not to go with the flow but to resonate at my own depth and speed.”
